CHAPTER XI/CII On the Witness Stand A momentous ringing on the telephone awakened Joyce at seven the next morning. Sleepily she dragged herself to answer it. "Miss Daring?” "Yes, speaking.” "This is Jim Hopkins. There will be a preliminary hearing this morning on Seltzer’s death. You’ll have to come down. Better be at the criminal court around nine o’clock.” Joyce hung up the receiver in dismay. Somehow she had hoped she could leave Cleveland before the story of Butch’s death became public property. Mrs. Daring was awake now. “What is it?” she asked Jayce. “Jim Hopkins to say I*ll have to be in the criminal court this morning at nine.” "Let’s get a morning paper.” Mrs. Daring suggested. “It may give us

some idea of what we will have to do.” Joyce felt * throb of gratitude that she would have her mother with her through the ordeal to come. A morning paper gave a brief account of Butch’s death, concluding with: “An eyewitness. James Hopkins, a detective, will support Mr. Deland's story that the shooting was in self-defense. It is said that another person, a woman, was also a witness of the shooting. If he)' testimony corroborates that of Mr. Hopkins it is probable that Mr. Deland will be released at once.” Joy’s eyes filled with tears. “That means I’ll have to answer questions, too,” she said.

Mrs. Daring looked thoughtful. “Why don’t you try to talk to your friend Judge Perkins? fie can tell you just what is the best thing for you to do.” Joyce realized this was excellent advice. She had no wish to involve Judge Perkins, but she desperately in need of someone who could guide her. Judge Perkins answered the phone. "Joyce?” he said in surprise. "I thought you were at the house party at the Anvil Club.” "I’m in great trouble. Judge Perkins. I’d rather not tell you over the telephone. Could you come out here to see me right away? My mother is here W'ith me. I found her last night.” "I’ll start at once.” the Judge promised. In half an hour he was standing in the living room', shaking hands w r ith Mrs. Daring and telling her courteousily how happy he was that Joyce now had a natural protector. “And now, my dear, let me hear your story,” he said kindly to Joyce. "I hardly know' how to begin.” Joyce said, clutching her hands together. “Tell him the wiiole truth, Joyce,” Mr*. Daring admonished. “Yesterday,” Joyce began, "when it was time to go to the house party Mrs. Fitz-Simons telephoned to say Mr. Deland would call for me. 1 did not like to go with him. We had had a disagreement last winter before the holidays. But when lie came there seemed to be on reason for my not going. Sd*l let him drive me to what I supposed was the club. "There was no one else there j when we arrived and after a while ! he told me we were not at the club ! but at his country home, Oakland*. He told me that if I would go away j with him he would protect me from ! gossip, and that if I went alone no one would believe, would believe—” i she faltered. "He planned to keep her there several days,” Mrs. Dating helped the girl out. “He thought quite correctly that if she stayed there for several days on one would believe she had not stayed willingly. Her reputation was gone either way.” ”1 made up my mind that I would go away alone,” Joyce said, "and just when I had decided that. Buich Seltzer, who had followed us. came to the window. He had climbed up on a ladder. He told me he would' take me to my mother and I started to climb out of the window when Carter came in. He and Butch had a fight and he shot Butch just as Butch drew a gun to shoot him. Jim Hopkins, who had been following Butch, got there in time to see the shooting and he says they won’t even hold Mr. Deland. He called me a few minutes ago to tell me to come to criminal court to support his story this morning.” Judge Perkins looked thoughtfully. "I’m very sorry,” he said. "The best thing for you to do is to tell the truth as you have told it to me. I am afraid no one is going to believe in your resolution to preserve your virtue, but that we cannot help. I will go to court with you to act as j’our counsel and to see that you are spared as much embarrassment as possible. Suppose I call for you and your mother at nine o’clock and drive you dow-n to court.” "Oh, If you only would, But are you sure—are you sure that it w'on’t hurt you to do this for me?” Judge Perkins smiled at her. "I’d be a poor friend to you and to Evangeline Maltby to desert you now when you need friends.” be said. He had hardly left the room when the telephone rang. Mrs. Fitz-Sim-ons was on the wire. "Joyce, Joyce Daring. Is that you? I’m so glad to hear your Voice. We were all quite worried about you. What happened to you? Do you know where Carter is?” Joyce put her hand over the mouthpiece. "It’s Mrs. Fitz-Simons, what shall I tell her?” "Let her hear the truth from you first,” said Mrs. Daring. "Mr. Deland and I didn't come to the club at once,” Joyce said, trying to speak evenly. “We stopped to see Oakland*. And while we were there a man came in and there was a fight and the man was killed. Mr. Deland had to stay in jail last night, but I think he will be out this morning.” There was a gasp at the other end of the wire. "In jail? Carter? How are they going to get him out?” "There’s to be some sort of hearing this morning.” Joyce answered, “and Judge Perkins thinks they will release Carter at once.” "You poor child. What a trying | thing for you. Can I help you any I way?” Mrs. Fitz-Kimon's sympathy | w'as quite genuine, i “My mother is with me. Mrs. Fitz-

Simons. She came home last night.” “Your mother!” Mrs. Fitz-Simons evidently was quite overcome with excitement. "What a thrilling night you must have had. What time is this hearing.”’ "At nine o'clock.” Joyce answered honestly. “Then we can all be there if we start right away!” exclaimed Mrs. Fitz-Simons. Joy’s face grew pale. This was more than she bargained for. She said good-by faintly and watted dully for Judge Perkins to come for her. Little was said on t,he drive to the courthouse. Judge Perkins took the two women in a private way that they might escape , newspaper photographers who had begun to scent a sensational story.

j There were few' people in the court j room. It was early. Several newspaper men looked curiously at Joyce and her mother. One of them hurried out to telephone his office that ! Joyce was pretty and would make { a good picture tor the front pages of first editions. ! Judge Perkins returned a firm no to all proposals that Joyce pose for a picture. He also advised Joyce to make no answer to any questions save those asked her on the witness stand. Presently the judge who was to hear the case entered and sat in his ; great chair. Immediately afterward j Jim Hopkins came and nodded to ! Joyce and her mother. Carter, ati tended by two men, followed and took his place. The night iin jail had apparently not harmed him for he was immaculately dressed and freshly shaved. He bowed to Joyce and said good morning to Judge Perkins. | The prosecutor began his examination into the cause of Butch’s death. A doctor testified as to the nature of the wound. The coronet’s verdict was returned. As these proceedings went on, slow,' in their formality, Joyce began to experience a sense of reyef. Everything seCmed so matter of fact. And. then, Just as Carter was called to the stand to , tell his story there was a rustle and ■ bustle at the door. A subdued whisper and in poured the entire Anvil Club house party in brilliant sport ! clothes. The judge rapped for order. | Amazed reporters seized their pencils and began to list the party, which one of the latter characterized as the “creme de la creme” of Cleveland society. Joyce returned Mrs. Fitz-Simons’ smile and avoided the glances of the rest of the party. Carter darted a surprised look at her, then gan his story calmly enough. "1 motored with a friend. Miss Daring,” he began, "to my country estate, Oaklands late yesterday aftj ernoon. We were en route to a house | party at the Anvil Club. I wished to show Oaklands to Miss Daring, as i she had never seen the place. Just after arriving we had tea and I left Miss Daring alone for a moment in the room.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

"Where was this room?” the presecutor interrupted. "It was a second floor boudoir sitting room,” Carter returned. Matilda Truesdaye’s eyes glittered. "That means it was a bedroom.” she whispered audibly to Catherine Sherwin. The judge rapped for order. The atmosphere of the court room became electrically tense. "While I was gone Seltzer forced hi* way through a window which he had reached by placing a ladder up to it. I returned to find him engaged in conversation with Miss Daring. I was of course alarmed and indignant to find the man in my house. I attempted to put him out and in the struggle I was forced to shoot him to prevent his killing me. I took no definite aim. Xeedless to say. I would rather have merely injured him than have killed him.” Cartel' sat down. "Mr. Hopkins.” The detective took the stand. He stated hi* profession and said that the defendant Mr. Deland, had been annoyed for some time by the feeling that he was being followed. He bad been asked to trail the man who ivas thus annoying Mr. Deland, his client.

"Seltzer was wanted by the po lice,” Hopkins went on. “I caught sight of him following Mr. Deland’s car yesterday afternoon. He must J have suspected that I was after him, for he stopped his chase after Deland's car and gave me the slip. When I found I had lost him I drove at or.ce to the Oaklands. When 1 got there about dusk I saw a ladder leaning against a sefl*nd story winj dow. 4 knew Mr. Deland often had j large sums of money with him and i occasionally carried valuable jewels. | "I climbed the ladder,” Hopkins : finished, "and when I reached the top I saw Mr. Deland and Seltzei fighting. They separated suddenly and Mr. Deland fired just as Seltzer got his gun from his coat pocket.” I "Where was Miss Daring?” the prosecutor asked. "She was standing near the door on the opposite side of the room,” Hopkins returned. “The shooting was in self-defense, if Mr. Deland had not fired first Seltzer would surely have killed him.” Hopkins was dismissed treat the stand. All eyes were focussed on Joyce. "Miss Joyce Daring," the prosecu tor called. And in another moment Joyce was in the witness stand, facing a battery of interested and hostile eyes.
